I would accept those sets of problems if the voter ID serves as voter registration.


I would assume that if someone went to the trouble of getting an ID primarily just for voting, also registering wouldn't be a big burden.


Yeah, but the crux is making it impossible to rescind that registration a la voter purges!


But it is an easy fix. I agree that there should be universal voter registration, and see no reason why we can't issue voter registration cards with a photo on them, which then serve as a valid form of identification for whatever information we choose to make publicly available on them.
